Taking the perfect picture is the easy part, but the difficulty comes in when you have to think of a witty but cute summertime Instagram caption for that perfect pose and beautiful backdrop! That's when I come in, with a couple of simple but sweet Insta-worthy captions. Enjoy!

1. "Summer time fine? More like Fourth of July Fly" *Insert sassy, summery emojis*

I used this self-made up quote for my Fourth of July post and I couldn't help but feel so sassy and confident while posting it. *Flips hair and blows a kiss.*

Let "Another Day In Paradise" by Quinn XCII be the start of the soundtrack of your summer. This song will literally make you feel like you're on an island, or at the very least, digging your toes in the sand of the local beach.

9. "You really know how to make me cry when you give me them ocean eyes" *Insert ocean wave emoji*

Billie Eilish's song, 'Ocean Eyes' is a Summertime must. It's so beautiful, and the absolute perfect background music to any beach video or the perfect Instagram lyric caption to any cute and beachy Summer Instagram post.

It's as though Khalid made these lyrics perfectly for you and your significant other!

13. "Good vibes happen on the ocean tides"

It's so true! Being in the ocean is so peaceful, relaxing, and gives me such warm, Summery feelings. I'm obsessed!

14. "Sweet and salty"

No, we're not talking about a snack, we're talking about your favorite beachy gal. Sweet and kind hearted, but her hair is probably full of sand and seashells.

Simple, but cute. Ella Mai would approve of this simple Instagram caption for you and BAE.

16. "In my life, I love you more."

Not that it's strictly Summery, but this Beatles quote is so cute, sweet, and affectionate.

Sweet, but simple and pretty!

19. "Real-life Mermaid"

I've used this one, as well. I took the cutest Boomerang of myself basically recreating that GIF of Ariel on a rock in the sea under the moonlight, and I simply couldn't waste the opportunity to compare myself to the likeness of a Disney Princess.

20. "Seas the day"

Funny enough, I can totally picture this quote on a Victoria's Secret PINK tank top.

I'm A Woman And You Can't Convince Me Breastfeeding In Public Is OK In 2019

Lately, I have seen so many people going off on social media about how people shouldn't be upset with mothers breastfeeding in public. You know what? I disagree.

There's a huge difference between being modest while breastfeeding and just being straight up careless, trashy and disrespectful to those around you. Why don't you try popping out a boob without a baby attached to it and see how long it takes for you to get arrested for public indecency? Strange how that works, right?

So many people talking about it bring up the point of how we shouldn't "sexualize" breastfeeding and seeing a woman's breasts while doing so. Actually, all of these people are missing the point. It's not sexual, it's just purely immodest and disrespectful.

If you see a girl in a shirt cut too low, you call her a slut. If you see a celebrity post a nude photo, you call them immodest and a terrible role model. What makes you think that pulling out a breast in the middle of public is different, regardless of what you're doing with it?

If I'm eating in a restaurant, I would be disgusted if the person at the table next to me had their bare feet out while they were eating. It's just not appropriate. Neither is pulling out your breast for the entire general public to see.

Nobody asked you to put a blanket over your kid's head to feed them. Nobody asked you to go feed them in a dirty bathroom. But you don't need to basically be topless to feed your kid. Growing up, I watched my mom feed my younger siblings in public. She never shied away from it, but the way she did it was always tasteful and never drew attention. She would cover herself up while doing it. She would make sure that nothing inappropriate could be seen. She was lowkey about it.

Mindblowing, right? Wait, you can actually breastfeed in public and not have to show everyone what you're doing? What a revolutionary idea!

There is nothing wrong with feeding your baby. It's something you need to do, it's a part of life. But there is definitely something wrong with thinking it's fine to expose yourself to the entire world while doing it. Nobody wants to see it. Nobody cares if you're feeding your kid. Nobody cares if you're trying to make some sort of weird "feminist" statement by showing them your boobs.

Cover up. Be modest. Be mindful. Be respectful. Don't want to see my boobs? Good, I don't want to see yours either. Hard to believe, I know.

Never Take The Beach For Granted

My toes submerge into cloud white powder that lines the seashore. The holy ground beckons me to remove my shoes, be mindful of where you tread. It cushions every step. The sand thickens and turns from fluffy powder to a finely packed mat, smooth and chilled. I approach the gentle whooshing waves, and the sand is like ice. One foot in the water and I jump from its coolness. It's cold, but I like it. The second step is not so bad. The clear water curls around my toes and pushes forward then trickles back in a steady motion.

I am not the only one entranced by the steady sound, the gentle swooshing. A little girl plays in the waves, squatting in the water, oblivious to its frigid temperatures as she fills her sand bucket. Her mother stands nearby, calf-deep in the water, phone to her ear, raving to a friend or family member about how wonderful the beach is. Behind me, a man lies on the beach doing nothing but listening to the sound and basking in the late afternoon light.

Puffy clouds line the horizon where the sun is headed. It shines brightly just above them illuminating the water with a trail of light. I can't help but think; I belong here. A fling of sandpipers zip past, diving and circling in rapid syncopated motion. When facing one way they are nearly invisible, their dark browns blend in with water and sky, but when as a group they turn, all their white feathers catch the sunlight at once in a brilliant flash of light. Their angled wings are perfect for maneuvering fast, confusing anything that would try to catch them.

When they have found the opportune, undisturbed spot, they land in one crowd, dozens of tiny birds. Together, they scurry about on twig legs and stab their knife beaks into the sand with precision. They move with the waves, retreating with a rush of scurrying feet whenever the wave approaches, then they immediately return as the water pulls back again, catching as many little creatures as they can before running back again.

Royal Terns casually stand on the water's edge, not nearly as skittish as the little sandpipers. They don't run as I approach them. They look to the water and groom their fluffy feathers, warming themselves in the sun. Bright orange long beaks and black ruffled heads, they stand regally on the sand.

Sometimes I'm too busy, taking pictures, walking, and thinking, that I forget to stop and take in the beauty. Sometimes I get caught up in life and forget I live ten minutes from the beach. Like the birds and the people, I want to stand on the shore and take in the sounds of the waves, their lulling motion, and the suns inviting rays. I want to stay there and get lost in it until I forget everything else. Because enjoying the sand, the waves, and the sun is all that truly matters. So, remind me to never take the beach for granted.
